That's it for the small but entertaining encounter folks! Hope you enjoyed our coverage! This is the pair of Rudransh and Karthik signing off. Keep following Sportskeeda :)
What a defense from the team-in-form! UNEFS have shown their character in a five-over match.
It all started with Haidar Ali, who also scored most of the runs, keeping his first over to just six runs. Zinits attacked in the next against Usman Ali's short-ball barrage. Sohail got dropped on the first pull-shot he attemped and hit another six. He eventually lost his wicket playing one shot too many but the new batter Mahesh Barve also took on the short ball and hit the third six of the over, making it 19 runs off it.
Barve was dropped next, on the first ball of the next over. But Rickie Gill got his deserved luck back and his yorker hit Barve's bat and ricocheted to the stumps. Kaveesha Devinda was Zinits' last hope but he tried an ambitious paddle in the same over which was snatched by Yasir behind the stumps.
It was all about keeping it tight for the next two overs from then and UNEFS did just that, picking another wicket in the process. Zinitis simply lacked the quality in the middle-order to finish the innings off.
